Solo fishing for salmon while filming the fight..Not for the faint hearted. Hung into a salmon with a 40 pound mind trapped in a 18 pound body. It put a noble fight making several runs and solo netted while filming at the same time. I was using a lower FBR main rig and a FBR dropper rig. The salmon came on the dropper rig which should have been approximately half way to the bottom rig which was at 70 feet. I was 300 yards towards Hawaii from the Duzberry buoy green can near Duzberry Reef with is approximate; 9 miles from Bonita point and a bout 2.5 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge. Great weather. It sure is nice to here the reel sing again. I can\\\'t believe how many Nice folks came by and said Hi today. Met a lot of folks on the water. Report one solo 18 pound salmon caught on a green FBR dropper Rig at approximately 35 feet. How the self-releasing trout catfish bass bait hook works.

Since you aren\\\'t breaking off hooks in fish and with the TadPole snagless weights, not breaking off in rocks, you get in more fishing time because you are not down re-rigging so that gives you more time with your bait in the water and you improve your catch. This is especially important when you have kids, as you will not spend all of your time re-rigging them. It is especially a good feeling seeing them swim away. Berkley Power Bait and these hooks and TadPole make one of the most effective trout bait rig there is. Catch and keep, no problem, you get the hook out instantly, and catch and release couldn\\\'t be easier. Regarding self-releasing hooks. They are design to release fish without touching them. Basically how they work is the eye of the hook is at the bend of the hook and the leader line goes through a flexible plastic sleeve that goes over leader line and when the sleeve is slid down over the shank of the hook it is set and fish just like a regular fishhook. The sleeve has a second line tied to the top of this and parallels the main leader line and is attach by a sliding 3 turn uniknot tied with thread. When you slid the red knot up by pinching it or using a pocket comb it slides the sleeve up and the hook rotates and self releases. To find out about other fantastic products...
